Versinetic Launches Free Tool to Assess Cloud Security for EV Charging Operators
The assessment covers 24 checkpoints across regulatory compliance, architecture, operations and governance.
Versinetic has released a new cybersecurity assessment tool designed to help charge point operators, local authorities and manufacturers evaluate security risks in cloud-connected EV charging infrastructure.
What Happened
The UK-based supplier of white-label hardware, software and load-balancing systems for EV charging providers says the EV Charger Cloud Security Assessment Tool supports self-assessments covering 24 checkpoints across four areas: Regulatory & Legal Compliance, Architecture, Operations, and Process & Governance. The assessment is designed to uncover common weaknesses including inadequate separation of customer and operational data, poorly controlled remote access pathways, gaps in certificate management processes and shortcomings in incident response preparedness. Available free of charge, the tool can be used by operators, manufacturers and local authorities as part of supplier evaluations, procurement exercises and internal security reviews.
Why It Matters
As EV charging networks scale across the UK and Europe, organizations are increasingly required to assess not only charging hardware but also the security of cloud platforms, customer data environments and operational systems that support them. Dunstan Power, Managing Director at Versinetic, said many procurement teams know how to compare charging speeds and hardware specifications but have less visibility into cloud platforms managing customer data, operational systems and remote access. The assessment is designed to help organizations review readiness for evolving security requirements including the transition toward TLS 1.3 and future ISO 15118-20 ecosystems.
The Bottom Line
Versinetic's free self-assessment tool gives charge point operators, manufacturers and local authorities a structured way to evaluate cloud security risks across their charging infrastructure using 24 checkpoints covering regulatory compliance, architecture, operations and governance.
